Georgia-Pacific et al Dear Clyde: Here is a list of the only Georgia-Pacific products which have ever contained any asbestos elements to the best of our knowledge. Asbestos was used in the se products from the early 1940's until the dates indicated bcl ow. We can provide more precise beginning dates by examining the formula histories for each product. This task would take two technicians at least a day to complete, and I am hopeful t at the information supplied here will suffice.
